no one ever drowned in sweat

Most of you know, my passion for music is unlike any other and it only continues to grow as days pass. This past weekend was a memorable night for me – graduating from DJ school and making my first live debut. One of the primary reasons I enjoy teaching spin is of course helping people get in shape and live healthy lives, but I want people to have fun and enjoy the music while they’re bustin’ their ass off. It seems to be working… because I continually see the same faces week after week. There’s definitely a growing bond among my spin class that’s unlike any other. Thanks to all who came to support me. I will post that mix from my night soon for you to download and share.

…and start living in the “what is”

This week is the release of #MCHG so of course I had to play a few tracks from it. Sure, it’s a definite hit as expected from HOV, but I’ll have a real opinion on it when I listen to it 6 months from now. What did you guys think?

My current obsession is “The Shouting Matches”. If you’re a fan of blues/rock, you gotta peep The Shouting Matches… fan of Bon Iver? Well, guess what The Shouting Matches is Justin Vernon’s side project. Groovy music to chill to… and apparently spin to!

Nothing beats the 90s. It’s my era. It’s when music really meant something to me more than just background noise — when the lyrics had meaning, and I could sing along to. This era developed the foundation to what I love and listen to today. I’ve always wanted to incorporate this era into my spin classes, but found it challenging. 1) it’s tough to really sprint to 2) there’s a plethora of songs – which ones do I choose 3) jumping is out of the question 4) it’s a very niche genre and could disappoint a good number of people… but you know what, screw that! I’m teaching the class, so I’m gonna play what I want…bahaha

Last night was easily one of the top 5 classes I’ve ever taught! Great energy and some of the hardest workin’ people ever! I could tell everyone was into the class. It definitely makes my job a whole lot easier (and fun)! Here’s my playlist for those of you who requested it. See you soon!!!
